OFFICER

I, Todd E. Wille, certify that:

1.I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form
10-Q of Unify Corporation;

2.Based on
my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not
misleading with respect to the period covered by this quarterly report;

3.Based on
my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included
in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material respects the financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and
for, the periods presented in this quarterly report;

4.The
registrants other certifying officers and I are responsible for establishing
and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the registrant and we have:

| | (a)
      designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
      disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision,
      to ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including
      its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those
      entities, particularly during the period in which this quarterly report is
      being prepared;
      (b)
      evaluated the effectiveness of the registrants disclosure controls and
      procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the
      effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of
      the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and
      (c)
      disclosed in this report any change in the registrants internal control
      over financial reporting that occurred during the registrants most recent
      fiscal quarter (the registrants third fiscal quarter in the case of an
      annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
      materially affect, the registrants internal control over financial
      reporting; and

5.The
registrants other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on our most
recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the
registrants auditors and the audit committee of the registrants board of
directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

| | (a)
      all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
      operation of internal controls over financial reporting which are
      reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrants ability to record,
      process, summarize and report financial information; and
      (b)
      any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
      employees who have a significant role in the registrants internal control
      over financial reporting.
